Gapa Island Romantic Vacations

Hotel is dated but clean and the grounds are beautiful, as is the ocean view. Staff speak hardly any English so you need a translation app if staying here. Expedia led us to believe there were restaurants on site but this is not the case, so you need to walk into town (2km) or take taxis (very reasonable prices) as the hotel is quite remote. Staying during a typhoon is not to be recommended - the staff were not happy that we wanted to sit in the lobby lounge when it was too wet to go outside and public safety warnings had been issued. Good local restaurants are the Dive 303 BBQ and the Olle Jumak - just outside the Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market which itself is well worth visiting. The Honeymoon House cafe on the Olle 6 trail is excellent. Breakfast at the hotel is excellent with plenty of choice.

We stayed in a suite with a private heated dipping pool on the balcony and it was really wonderful. The room was incredibly spacious and the layout was really well thought out. The property itself is situated in a really nice area close to a lot of local attractions. The staff also went out of their way to make us feel pampered. Well worth the price.

Rooms are definitely outdated, beautiful outdoor property with a paved walkway to the beach. Amenities of towels and water was appreciated. Pool use is confusing. Free to use the pools, BUT at the adult pool, all the loungers are paid. So you can put your stuff at a table and swim, but nowhere to put your things or relax. Also an odd thing, we were the only ones in the pool and still they were strict with this system. The family pool whole has free loungers , MUST be booked/reserved still for 2 hour timeslots. Those do not have umbrellas, they have heaters. The pool is heated which is nice and connects to the indoor pool which has free FCFS loungers but this is still a perplexing and odd system/arrangement. We went in October where school has started and it's a little colder and there was no one swimming, which was nice for us, but the loungers situation is odd. The food is also odd. All food on the property isn't the best tasting, but the pricing is SUPER expensive. The proportions are also typically MASSIVE for some dishes, while not for others so often we unfortunately had to throw away significant amounts of food as one dish was good enough for 2, but it's unclear on the menu that is the case.

Loved this hotel and we would totally stay again. Read my pros and cons list below. Pros: - the room we stayed in was super spacious. - the view from our room was phenomenal and we enjoyed sunrises from our balcony. - beds were very comfortable - washroom was very spacious. It had a separate toilet and shower area. Toiletries like comb, shower cap, vanity kit were also provided. - location wise, it is walkable to the beach, folk village, nearby restaurants. We had a rental car so we found that the hotel was central and close enough to attractions. - there is a convenience store in the hotel which made it super helpful to get quick snacks or drinks to start the day or end the night. - we didnt use any of these but can see there were lots of amenities like a game room, swimming pools, sauna. It was noted well ahead of time to us that during our stay, one of the pools were closed. However, we felt that the pools that were open, didn’t seem that crowded anyways. - the shared spaces were beautiful and something we admired looking at every day. Cons (If I really had to nitpick): - above ground parking could be an issue. We found that in the evenings it was harder to get a spot. There is underground parking too though we can’t speak too much about that since we don’t use this. - our room personally was a bit of a walk from the elevators but it really didn’t ruin the experience at all.

Amazing room for an amazing price! Great location too! Makes a great base for driving around the island.

Very nice place to Stay and convenient location staff friendly
